This book by Barry Ross, a passionate Rugby supporter, past Newington Parent, past Rugby President and sports journalist, includes stories of past players and game results throughout the 150 years. It will make a beautiful addition to the library of any family connected with Newington.

On Friday 31 May 2019, over 375 guests (a record attendance) came together at Dockside Darling Harbour for the Newington College Rugby Association Season Lunch to celebrate ‘150 Years of Rugby at Newington’. Gordan Bray AM and Justin Sampson were the MC’s for the 150-year lunch and hosted three panels of guest speakers reliving the History of Rugby at Newington.

The College is proud to have strong connections to speakers such as Bob Dwyer AM, Phil Kearns AM (ON 1984) and Simon Poidevin AM. They certainly had colourful stories to share about being on tour with the Wallabies. Digging further back into history, Graeme Macdougall (ON 1958) and John Freedman OAM reflected on how tough the game was back in their days of playing for the Wallabies. Scott Bowen (ON 1990)and Adam Byrnes (ON 1999) discussed how the game has changed through the years, and all speakers spoke of the passion and love for the game and how it should be carried on in the future.
